What is recorded here

The following description is derived from both the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986) and the 'Archaeological Survey of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1991). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of revision: 23 December 2010 Situated on small, natural ridge, just N of River Dee. Rectangular area (max. dims. 52m WSW-ENE, 32m NNW-SSE) with rounded corners enclosed from S-W-N-E by earthen bank (Wth 6m, H 0.3m), from E-S by steep scarp. Aerial photograph (GB91.DC.17) shows cropmark of a large enclosure defined by two incomplete fosses. Traces of a third possible fosse are visible on the southern side of the enclosure. The cropmark enclosure surrounds the small rectilinear enclosure descibed above.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
